SIDELIGHTS: David Jacobs has written extensively over the years, producing both books and television scripts, but he is best known for creating the epic television series Dallas. This series, which aired from 1978 to 1991, was the first- or second-ranked program every season from 1980-81 to 1984-85, and the November 21, 1980 episode, "Who Shot J.R.?" was the second-most-watched television episode in history, falling behind the 1983 series finale of the Korean-War themed MASH. Dallas, which Jacobs conceived as a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, focuses on two competing families of oil barons in Texas, who are united when a son from one family, the Ewings, marries a daughter from the other family, the Barneses. Jacobs did not set out to build a career in television when he graduated from college. He studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art, but he ceased to work in the visual arts two years after graduation in order to pursue writing. "I'd always had both passions but I thought the painting was firsë it turned out it wasn't," Jacobs said, in a interview published in Broadcasting. Until the mid-1970s, Jacobs made his living writing nonfiction books, mostly for use in schools. Then, in 1975, Jacobs's ex-wife and daughter moved from New York to California, and Jacobs followed them in order to remain close to his daughter. In 1976 he was hired as a staff writer at Lorimar Television to work on the show The Blue Knights. The show was canceled only four weeks after Jacobs was hired, but Lorimar was sufficiently impressed with his work to offer him the development deal that led to Dallas. Jacobs also created, produced, and sometimes directed and wrote for the Dallas spin-off, Knots Landing, which focuses on the middle Ewing son. This series, Jacobs has said, was inspired by the 1973 Ingmar Bergman film Scenes from a Marriage. "The trick is knowing where to steal from," Jacobs told Sunday Times interviewer Liam Fay in 1999. Jacobs continued: "You should always steal, but only high-class stuff." BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL SOURCES: BOOKS.

Book Review: Disney’s America on Parade. “America On Parade” ran from June 6, 1975 to September 6, 1976 at Walt Disney World and from June 12, 1975 to September 12, 1976 at Disneyland. Bob Jani, entertainment head, led a group of Disney designers to create special floats and costumes (the characters with the big heads) to celebrate America’s Bicentennial. The book, Disney’s America On Parade , is part history book and part look at the creation of the floats and characters. The Introduction to the book (six full pages) is the only section that discusses the parade. The rest of the book is written as a primer for anyone looking for more information about the first 200 years of America’s history. I would hazard a guess that it is geared towards the sixth through eight grade history student. Seriously, it is a history text. Beside being one of the longest and largest parades in Disney history, “America On Parade” showcased a few technical milestones, including a new way of using audio with the floats. From the Introduction: To make the most of the recorded music, the Disney engineers devised a system whereby selected units broadcast from their own loudspeakers while others broadcast their signals to radio receivers along the parade route; then the signals are rebroadcast through loudspeakers in fixed locations. The radio-transmitted signals and the signals broadcast from the units themselves are perfectly synchronized, and make music that is almost symphonic in its constancy and pacing.

  • When Victims Rule
    1 24 JEWISH INFLUENCE IN THE MASS MEDIA, Part II In 1985 Laurence Tisch, Chairman of the Board of New York University, former President of the Greater New York United Jewish Appeal, an active supporter of Israel, and a man of many other roles, started buying stock in the CBStelevision network through his company, the Loews Corporation. The Tisch family, worth an estimated 4 billion dollars, has major interests in hotels, an insurance company, Bulova, movie theatres, and Loliards, the nation's fourth largest tobacco company (Kent, Newport, True cigarettes). Brother Andrew Tisch has served as a Vice-President for the UJA-Federation, and as a member of the United Jewish Appeal national youth leadership cabinet, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Israel Political Action Committee, among other Jewish organizations. By September of 1986 Tisch's company owned 25% of the stock of CBS and he became the company's president. And Tisch -- now the most powerful man at CBS -- had strong feelings about television, Jews, and Israel. The CBS news department began to live in fear of being compromised by their boss -- overtly, or, more likely, by intimidation towards self-censorship -- concerning these issues. "There have been rumors in New York for years," says J. J. Goldberg, "that Tisch took over CBS in 1986 at least partly out of a desire to do something about media bias against Israel." [GOLDBERG, p. 297] The powerful President of a major American television network dare not publicize his own active bias in favor of another country, of course. That would look bad, going against the grain of the democratic traditions, free speech, and a presumed "fair" mass media.

    Deutscher FALCON CREST - Fanclub January 4, 2017 Executive Producers’ Assistant DONNA GOLDBERG Remembers Falcon Crest Interview by THOMAS J. PUCHER (German FALCON CREST Fan Club) When I met story editor Lisa Seidman in December 2016 in Los Angeles, not only did she provide me with a number of Falcon Crest production documents for further research, but also suggested putting me in contact with a dear friend of hers — Donna Goldberg, who worked for the series also. I was thrilled with the idea because it is always interesting to talk to as many staff and crew members as possible since everyone has a different perspective on having worked on the show. It did not take long until Lisa fulfilled her promise, and I received an e-mail from Donna. From the very beginning, I felt it would be a straightforward conversation, and I was not disappointed because it turned out to be a very pleasant and insightful chat. Getting to Work at Lorimar “How did you land your job on Falcon Crest,” I began our interview, “and did you work for Lorimar Productions before you came to the show?” Donna explained: “I moved out to LA in July of 1983 from New York and immediately got a job at the Agency for Performing Arts, where I met a woman who is still one of my closest friends. In June of 1985 I was unemployed. Jeff Freilich called my friend looking for a recommendation for someone he was considering hiring as his assistant. My friend told him that person was not right for the job but she knew someone who was — me.

  • Dallas (1978 TV Series)
    Dallas (1978 TV series) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the original 1978–1991 television series. For the sequel, see Dallas (2012 TV series). Dallas is a long-running American prime time television soap opera that aired from April 2, 1978, to May 3, 1991, on CBS. The series revolves around a wealthy and feuding Texan family, the Ewings, who own the independent oil company Ewing Oil and the cattle-ranching land of Southfork. The series originally focused on the marriage of Bobby Ewing and Pamela Barnes, whose families were sworn enemies with each other. As the series progressed, oil tycoon J.R. Ewing grew to be the show's main character, whose schemes and dirty business became the show's trademark.[1] When the show ended in May 1991, J.R. was the only character to have appeared in every episode. The show was famous for its cliffhangers, including the Who shot J.R.? mystery. The 1980 episode Who Done It remains the second highest rated prime-time telecast ever.[2] The show also featured a "Dream Season", in which the entirety of the ninth season was revealed to have been a dream of Pam Ewing's. After 14 seasons, the series finale "Conundrum" aired in 1991. The show had a relatively ensemble cast. Larry Hagman stars as greedy, scheming oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, stage/screen actressBarbara Bel Geddes as family matriarch Miss Ellie and movie Western actor Jim Davis as Ewing patriarch Jock, his last role before his death in 1981. The series won four Emmy Awards, including a 1980 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series win for Bel Geddes.
